In collaboration with the National Academy of Medicine, the committee will seek to identify examples drawn from around the world that demonstrate how different professions cope with the stresses of educating health professionals under current health and educational structures, and how adjustments in policies and incentives might move organizations to adopt a more welcoming environment for testing and implementing individual stress-reduction and resilience-building strategies.

Description
An ad hoc committee will plan and conduct a 1.5-day public workshop to explore systems-level causes and downstream effects of job-related stress affecting all health professions working in learning environments-- both clinical and classroom settings. In collaboration with the National Academy of Medicine, the committee will seek to identify examples drawn from around the world that demonstrate how different professions cope with the stresses of educating health professionals under current health and educational structures, and how adjustments in policies and incentives might move organizations to adopt a more welcoming environment for testing and implementing individual stress-reduction and resilience-building strategies.
The workshop could open discussions on such questions as:
• What is the role of leadership for creating an enabling environment where stress-reduction and resilience training strategies can be tested and implemented?
• How might financial incentives be altered to allow education and health institutions the freedom to promote health and well-being among their faculty and providers?
• Could leadership development in self-care strategies alter future organizational structures?
• What sorts of policy shifts could incentivize leaders of education and health institutions to want to make a culture shift and positive organizational changes toward healthier work environments?
• What might be the downstream impacts of policy changes promoting friendlier, more collaborative work environments?
The committee will develop a workshop agenda, select and invite speakers and discussants, and moderate the discussions. Following the workshop, a proceedings of the presentations and discussions at the workshop will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
